The Tempe Municipal Court will hear your case if it involves a criminal traffic violation, civil violation, or criminal misdemeanor. If you broke state law, a city ordinance, or an Order of Protection, you would go to the Tempe Municipal Court for your criminal hearing. During your hearing, a judge and jury will listen to both sides of the case, review the evidence presented, and decide whether you are guilty beyond reasonable doubt. The skill of your attorney can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
When you head to the Tempe Municipal Court for your arraignment or criminal trial, do so in confidence with help from a defense attorney. A lawyer can help you learn what to expect from your court case, where to go, what to wear, how to act, and what to say (and not say). The right attorney can transform your case, giving you hope for your future regardless of the charges you’re facing. If you must go to the Maricopa County Superior Court for a felony charge, it’s even more important to retain an attorney.
The Maricopa County Court handles more serious crimes – namely, felonies. If your DUI, assault, sex crime, or other charge reaches the level of a felony in Arizona, you could be facing one year to life in prison. Serious criminal consequences require serious attorneys.
